It was finally time to get off work, and Shen Guiyu walked out of the door with his cell phone to send a message to Li Yue.

He had a little trouble finding it because there were too many vehicles parked nearby. Li Yue looked at the young man who was holding a mobile phone, taking two steps, stopping one step and looking left and right, took a deep breath and activated the double flash.

His eyes lit up and he walked a little faster.

"Li Yue." The door opened and he quickly got into the passenger seat.

Li Yue turned to look at him, smiled and nodded: "Are you hungry?"

After Shen Guiyu received his salary, he transferred almost all of it to Li Yue. Comparing the figures Cheng Lan told Li Yue, he only kept one thousand yuan for himself, and the rest was transferred back to Li Yue's account.

In fact, if he directly used his classes to pay off the debt, and Shen Guiyu's job at the milk tea shop hadn't even ended yet, he would only have two hundred yuan left in his balance.

In this city A, where every inch of land is at a premium, no matter how frugally you spend two hundred yuan, you won't be able to survive the day when the milk tea shop pays wages.

He actually knew that Li Yue had already taken care of him in many ways.

"What to eat?"

He came to his senses and said, "I can do it."

A few minutes after the car drove out, he said again: "When I get paid, can I treat you to dinner too?"

He originally thought that someone with a completely different lifestyle like Li Yue would hesitate for a while, but she just nodded: "Okay."

There was a lot of expectation in my heart. Only a relationship with real back-and-forth would be fair to everyone.

It would be nice if he could do something for her.

Li Yue took him to eat Japanese food, but it was the first time for Shen Guiyu to eat sashimi. He hesitated for a long time when he took the small piece of raw meat from the chef's hand.

But his tolerance was still not that good. After trying a small piece, he frowned. Li Yue smiled and called the waiter to serve some cooked food such as bibimbap.

"Are you okay?" She handed him a tissue.

Just now, the young man was like a guinea pig in a laboratory, very curious and afraid of the dishes served.

But he would take whatever she handed him and taste it.

It seemed like she was the only one who would never harm him.

"I actually don't like eating this kind of food." Li Yue wiped his hands and led Shen Guiyu to another area with the waiter.

Shen Guiyu felt better after staying away from the table where the fish was cut open and placed on the plate.

They ate some more cooked food, and Shen Guiyu followed her like a child every time he tried something new, doing what she asked him to do, his eyes almost never leaving Li Yue.

Li Yue also discovered that Shen Guiyu would be in a daze for a while after eating.

Just like now, he still holds chopsticks in his hand and noodles are still floating in his own Haikou bowl.

His eyes were staring blankly at an unknown place. The general direction could be seen, but it was also distracted, as if his time had been interrupted by food.

Li Yue held back a smile and took two photos, but he still hadn't recovered from his distraction.

"Are you full?"

Shen Guiyu then put down his chopsticks as if he had woken up from a dream: "Yeah!"

Seeing Li Yue couldn't help but laugh, he blushed and sat a little further away.

They went to see a movie again. Li Yue made a phone call and booked the theater. Shen Guiyu followed her into the theater without knowing anything.

The waiter very thoughtfully introduced the movies currently showing and asked them which one they wanted to watch. After discussing it with Shen Guiyu, she found that he had no opinion, so she finally asked him to specify which one to watch.

Shen Guiyu was stunned for a moment, and then understood her intention, but he was still burdened with great pressure in his heart. If I choose something she doesn't like to see, will it make her unhappy again...

His finger pointed at a comedy film, his eyes glanced at Li Yue's face, and the waiter also focused on Li Yue.

Seeing that Li Yue didn't show any interest, he pointed at a romance movie. The waiter also opened his eyes wide and stared at Li Yue's reaction.

But she remained indifferent and ignored the two men's disguised inquiries about her opinions.

She still insisted on letting Shen Guiyu make the decision.

Shen Guiyu has never been to a movie theater and watched a movie, and he usually watches very few movies. Because he has never experienced it, he doesn't know what he is interested in. At the same time, he feels annoyed about his wavering. Li Yue felt helpless when she saw his expression, which was ultimately his fault.

If she didn't speak, Shen Guiyu's mood might turn into a feeling of inferiority complex.

"Xiaoyu, you can watch whatever you want. You have to give it a try."

"But I don't know what I want to see, I haven't seen anything."

Here comes the very contradictory part.

Li Yue patiently touched the top of his hair again. His hair was very soft and felt as good as rubbing a plush round doll.

"Okay. Then aren't these introductions here? Look, do you want to see who killed the man in this suspense drama more, or the happy enemies in this comedy, or something else?"

If he can't choose the genre of the film, he might as well listen to his most primitive heart.

Shen Guiyu's head was buried low, and Li Yue's comfort seemed to transform from the touch on the top of his head into another formless and colorless emotion to his current restless heart.

People who have too much burden always put too much pressure on themselves. Li Yue whispered in his ear again: "Just choose what you like. I have chosen for you so many times. Xiaoyu will do it this time." Let me be lazy for a while, okay?"

"Okay." He raised his head and collected the water from the corners of his eyes: "I, I want to watch something suspenseful."

After finally waiting for his reply, Li Yue patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Okay! Then let's watch the suspense one."

In order to apply what he learned now, Li Yue arranged several multiple-choice questions for him.

Choose which row or seat to sit in, choose popcorn or potato chips, choose milk tea or Coke.

There was no choice, but he never left himself any other options. Subconsciously, I felt that I was unworthy, unsuitable, and didn't dare, so I omitted everything that needed to be compared and chose what others picked out.

Every time he made a decision, Li Yue just followed him, and it didn't matter even if he made the wrong decision.

Just like choosing a seat, he initially thought that the view in the first row would be better, but it wasn't until he took Li Yue over to take a look that he realized that it would be uncomfortable to stretch his neck.

Li Yue patted him on the shoulder, overturning the annoyance that secretly built up in his heart.

In the end, they did find the best place to sit down, and the movie did live up to expectations and made him tremble with fear.

Shen Guiyu secretly looked at the picture on the screen through his fingers. He wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it. Suddenly, a frame of the murderer's blood-stained face appeared on the screen, which frightened him so much that his hands shook.

The movie was indeed quite interesting to film. Even when Li Yue finally picked up her phone and prepared to leave at the end, Shen Guiyu still had not fully come out of the movie.

"Hmm... Your school has a twelve o'clock access control, right?"

Shen Guiyu was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at the big time on the screen of her mobile phone, 23:43.

"No." He lowered his eyes and wanted to rush back: "In our last session, it was changed. It's not only 11:30 pm on Saturdays and Sundays!"

Li Yue looked at the young man who flew out like a bolt of lightning. She couldn't walk fast in high heels, so she had to follow a few steps behind and shouted: "Shen Guiyu!"

Shen Guiyu looked back and walked back immediately: "Sorry, I forgot you were wearing high heels..."

"It's already late, we can't get in."

Shen Guiyu held his bag tightly, pressed his lips into a straight line, and said nervously: "You, please go back first, I will figure out a way myself."

"What else can you do? I'll take you home."

As soon as she finished speaking, his hand suddenly tightened. Then she noticed something was wrong and slowly relaxed her strength and explained: "No, no need! I can just go back by myself."

"It's very far here, Shen Guiyu, and I don't trust you walking down the street alone." Li Yue's frown made him even more embarrassed: "And didn't Uncle Wu give you a gift before? This time I Come to take you back and see grandma by the way?"

Speaking of his grandma, another optimistic and cheerful little old lady appeared in front of Li Yue and called her "Little Li Xiaoli".

"Okay..." He thought for a long time. He didn't want to spend another amount of money to stay in a hotel, so he could just send her to the place where Uncle Wu parked before...

"Just stop here on Chuanfang Road."

She didn't expect that although the road pointed by Shen Guiyu was narrower, there were many food stalls on the road that she passed, making it a snack street. There were a lot of fireworks along the way.

There is also an attractive aroma floating in the air.

Li Yue looked at it for a while and then said: "Are we at your home?"

Shen Guiyu held his trouser legs tightly and could only nodded stubbornly.

"Then get off the car and I'll accompany you up."

"do not want!"

Li Yue looked at him in surprise. Shen Guiyu also knew that he had overreacted, so he could only explain slowly: "I, my home..."

"It's very small, very narrow, very...poor."

So, don't go up there...

Like him, he had nothing and was completely different from her.

Li Yue thought it was some unavoidable reason, so she smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart at all: "No matter how small or ordinary it is - it's still home."

His tense thoughts relaxed at this moment, catching all the nerves in his body off guard.

That's home too.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the yellowed walls of the small houses and the rusty security nets, and became entangled for a while.

Yes, that's home too, his home.

No matter how poor the hut is, there is still hope, and there are sprouts sprouting in the cracks of the broken walls.

In his home, there is also his beloved grandma.

He finally brought Li Yue to the door of his house.

As he said, this kind of house is indeed quite old.

The lock on the door on the first floor was useless, but Shen Guiyu pressed the code again and again.

Li Yue was lighting the lamp for him on the side. Moths were flying under the dim street lamp not far away, chasing each other and flying around the lamp.

Their family actually lives in the middle rows of these rows of houses, and is the first building in this row.

So it's on the side of the road, and cars can definitely drive here.

Li Yue turned on the flashlight in her hand and followed him up the stairs step by step.

In the dim stairwell on the second floor, a pair of green pupils lit up silently in the darkness.

Li Yue saw it, her pupils shrank and she held his hand tightly.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have watched that suspense drama, so I wouldn't have been so frightened by a kitten.

Li Yue watched Shen Guiyu approach the darkness in a daze, and when he squatted down and picked up a cute and adorable kitten with a faint smile, all that was left in his heart was the silent galloping of thousands of horses. .

"...I scared you, I'm sorry..." He scratched his head, and Li Yue caught the smile on his lips.

"Xiaoyu, I'm still scared, can I hold your hand?" She said to him pitifully.

Li Yue said with a tight voice. Before his confused expression could change, her hand had already wrapped around his wrist.

"Come on, Xiaoyu, go home."

Shen Guiyu lowered his head and muttered: "...Hmm."

The cool night breeze diluted the messy smell that usually accumulated here. Shen Guiyu also turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, came to the first door in the corridor and carefully took out his house key and unlocked it.

"Grandma?" he asked softly.

He should have gone to bed already, after all, it was already past twelve o'clock after all this trouble.

But the light in grandma's room turned on, and grandma Shen came out of the room shaking the cattail leaf fan: "Xiao Yu? How did you-"

She saw a girl following Shen Guiyu. She couldn't see her face clearly, but her intuition already told her that it was Li Yue.

The last bit of sleepiness she had left was gone, and she quickly stepped forward to hold Li Yue's hand.

Li Yue also greeted grandma with a smile and asked, "Why are grandma still up so late?"

"Ahem, the weather is too hot. Grandma can't sleep. Why did you come back so late? Did you go somewhere to play today?"

Shen Guiyu walked behind the door and turned on the light switch. The lights in the room were also old, and the light was a little blurry. Only then did Li Yue see the furnishings in the room clearly.

There is not much furniture in the old style and pieced together. There are a few stools and a square table that can be opened and folded on one side, and a round wooden table surrounded by three small benches on the other side.

On one side is the living room and on the other side is the dining room.

Grandma asked Li Yue a few questions. Li Yue coaxed grandma into laughing and insisted on playing with the small radio to show Li Yue what she had learned.

"Just wait, Xiao Li, grandma learns things very quickly! Grandma will go get it right now -"

Shen Guiyu leaned against the wall, listening to their conversation and feeling only sad: "Grandma... don't--"

Li Yue held his wrist, and his slender wrist looked small in her hand: "It's okay."

"But it's already very late, you have to go back later..."

He let her take his wrist in her hand and squeeze it as if she were studying something new, as if she didn't listen to him at all.

"It's okay." Li Yue met his watery eyes. He had a small frame and soft wrist bones. It felt soft and warm when held in his hand: "I'm thirsty, little fish."

She was playing with his wrist, but when he walked forward, she held it and let him lead her.

Shen Guiyu found the cleanest and neatest place for her and moved the table towards her: "I'll get you some water, you -"
